Hey, at least be glad that you cost us 1 VP with your last land grab in Asia!

undercovergeek · January 02, 2014, 09:33:27 PM

Have to give you a chance!

Did the Kremlin Kitties make a move?

We still need some warmonger action to limit the free points they would otherwise get at turn's end.

They pulled points scoring in Asia..... hence the build up there and took 7 vps.....more if we hadn't done south korea

Staggerwing · January 03, 2014, 06:43:27 AM

So, do we try to flip Iran first? Any other targets that could benefit from a change in leadership instead? Or do we go Above and Beyond?

i dont think we can play our Russian cards at all - they need to be confined to outer space ASAP

GJK · January 06, 2014, 06:45:19 AM

One of the cards you'll have to play for OPs, you only get one Space Race dump at this point. You get a 2nd Space Race dump off option once you've progressed so far down the Space Race track.

And yes, you are very short on MilOps points spent this turn so you'll take a hit on more VP's unless you all do a Coup (or it may take two, I'd have to check).

undercovergeek · January 06, 2014, 08:51:49 AM

We will have to play the Castro card then.... the other one is a nightmare for us.... let's coup something then!

bob48 · January 06, 2014, 08:55:06 AM

OK - what are our coup options?

undercovergeek · January 06, 2014, 11:55:56 AM

something not ours, but next to us (linked to us)
